NDB powers data center expansion

Features and Capabilities

Using Cisco Nexus Data Broker, you can replace traditional, purpose-built matrix switches with Cisco Nexus switches. Interconnect the switches to build scalable network taps and SPAN aggregation infrastructures. You can also distribute the tap and SPAN sources across multiple switches.

You can distribute traffic monitoring and analysis tools, either physical appliance- or virtual machine (VM)-based, across multiple switches as well.
